Swapping out board, processor and PSU.

Recommended Posts

Looking for a new kit. Intel 12th gen with DDR. Since that's all I have. Most of miner PSU's are burnt out so I'm checking to see which places sell combo deals with board, processor and/or PSU and PSU. Already have case. Should I just pick and choose and microwarehouse?At At I already have 64GB of memory, don't think I need more.

IMO buying bundled hardware is not advisable -

potential problems associated with warranty returns, non-optimal component pairing, non-compatible component bundling or just outright scummy practices of pairing inferior, slow-moving product with highly desirable parts.

 

As has been recently demonstrated by Newegg on at least a few occasions when they were unloading non-selling "exploding" Gigabyte PSUs by pairing them with unattainable at the time video cards, and later on bundling DDR4 memory kits with incompatible, DDR5-only motherboards.
